Hey, Vaughn!

Looks like quite the lathe indeed. A little long for my needs, and I'm hoping my next lathe will have more swing over the bed than this one does. (Outboard turning is fine, but you can't use a hollowing rig outboard.) ;)

Still looks like it could be a good deal, as long as this guy's reserve price isn't too far out to lunch.

Dunno if I'd be advertising it has connections to a Shuttle engineer, though. I guess it's OK as long as he wasn't a tile installer or something.) :rolleyes:

Here's a guy who's giving away (in Illinois) the same lathe I currently have. All it needs is a $40 belt and about 30 minutes of repair time. I'll even offer photographic instructions for replacing the belt:

I tell ya Vaughn if he was closer I would get it now. It would make a great starter lathe for the nephew. He has my old Delta midi but he is already eyeing my Nova DVR pretty hard.
